Tell me more about the blanking plate for chatter i like the sound of that lol

[850 Skye]

Looking good.

[t5_carl]

ill stick a vid up, the plate is about 25 quid, so i made mine myself out of some good quality alloy, took me about 10 mins, and makes a HUGE difference!should said recirc valve blanking plate, sticking a plate under your bonnet will not give yoy chatter lol

Nice looking motor! How did you lower it, and how do you find the handling, and ride now?

[t5_carl]

i brought some lowering springs, but the back end didn't come down enough so i chopped off 2 coils off the back, handles well, but a bit bumpier, but im well used to it now,lol.

[t5_carl]

oh fitted polybush engine mounts to, forgot to add,lol

What make of springs did you go for?

[sen]

You have pm mate.

race dynamics, buddy

[walter leever]

Nice mods,great looking car:funkybana

How does it handle speed bumps?

What's next on the "to do"list?

gr,walter

[The Flying Banana]

I thought the blanking plate on its own could cause the turbo to stall, is that not the case?
Car looks good too, nice stance :)

[t5_carl]

speed bumps not a problem , its still high enough to get over!lol
next on the list, rica, v70 lights and sort out some of the paint problems!
as with turbo stall, its a long going debate, my own opinion is running10-15psi does nothing to the turbo, ive run 30psi of cossies for years now and never had a problem!

[AndysR]

Looking good Carl and welcome to the chatter club she sounds sweet :)

[t5_carl]

feels good to be there;)

[AlanG]

Fleabay or Salvo mate..

[t5_carl]

really want some pegs or titans but even standard will do for now, I need new front tyres so i would rather just replaced the wheels!

[AlanG]

Defo Titans.........They really are smart. Mine has the original Columbas in good condition but would love a set of those.....

[fireclown]
